This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Yes, small timey. by Tex Francisco
Most people have never heard of Creighton, and I'm guessing even most college basketball fans couldn't tell you what city/state it is in. I realize they've been fairly successful over the last couple decades, but not successful enough to really elevate their profile like a Gonzaga. Schools like UConn and Villanova are orders of magnitude higher profile as basketball programs, and schools like Notre Dame and Georgetown could go a decade without winning a single basketball game and would still be orders of magnitude higher profile as institutions. It would make zero sense for ND to cast their lot with the likes of Creighton over the current ACC or Big East schools. I realize Creighton is a current Big East school, but it's not one of the bellwethers of the group, whereas it would be in Cold's new conference.
